I find it interesting that amongst all the posts there's a trend of people explaining why they are _not_ upgrading their iPhones. It's as though a wave of common sense is washing across the populace, at least across those who are choosing fiscal responsibility over just throwing money at Apple for the latest product. As it has been noted, now that bundling has been replaced by monthly payments via the AT&T Next style programs, consumers that weren't paying attention are now aware that they are paying far more than the $199 price they previously thought they were paying for Apple's smartphone. It's almost as though the ruse is revealed and consumers are wide awake now.
